aging shih tzu....??? Can't Post

hi..ppl. my shih tzu turned 5 this year.. noticed some changes .. his fur is getting lesser , starts having little little black spots/freckles around his body.. worst of all, his pure white face is now brown colour, with heavy tear stains..Unsure

is it becoz he's aging?? anyone come across anything like that??

our westie (white) as he grew older looked browner whilst our boxer (brown) had a whitish face by d time she passed away.

so such discoloration...i would not worry so much.

however if you're still worried, why not seek the advise of your vet?

my vet says can have a minor operation to do something abt the tear discharge/stain..

but i dun think it's necessary.. not a major problem after all.. but i'm going to try to cut him whole bodyhair short short .. n see if it works....Smile

tear stains...i use vaseline as per our groomer's tip to let d tears flow smoothly and not block d ducts. works quite well. perhaps u can try?
